TheJester (1230) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 14, 2009
330 mL bottle. Very, very nice colour - copper, which almost looks purple in a certain light. Can’t give it a 5 though, ’cause the head disappeared quite rapidly. Aroma is mild and on the sweet side, with fruit, tea, and a bit of spice. Flavour is good: spice, honey, caramel, and some fruit and anise near the end. Decent bitterness in the finish, some of which may be from the alcohol. Not as full as it could be. Not bad.

tommann (1224) - Dudley, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JUL 2, 2011
330ml bottle at 8.2%. Pours reddy brown with a medium head. Aroma is nutty yeast with some alcohol. Taste is yeasty and milky. Dark fruits as well.

mile (1221) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 15, 2011
Bottle. Dark brown - reddish, small and fully diminishing light brown head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, fruitiness – berries and some spiciness. Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, fruitiness, caramel and some spiciness, faint alcohol. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, fruitiness and some spiciness, alcohol. Fruity Belgian strong ale with lots of alcohol in the finish – nothing special.

Amber coloured with a big head. The aroma is fruity with some hop and malt. The alcohol is obvious. Bitter, alcohol filled aftertaste.

Scopey (1179) - Croydon, Surrey, ENGLAND - MAR 19, 2011
Bottle from Utobeer. It pours reddish brown with a thick beige head. The nose is sweet dark fruits: date, fig, raisin, plum, blackberry and caramel and cocoa. The taste is wood, dark fruits, caramel, nut, guava, burnt toast and Pepsi! The mouth-feel is sticky and the finish lightly bitter. Overall the smell is pretty good, but the taste just doesn’t deliver.
